Gas stations charge for air?

[namecheapTA]

Does your place of business have an air compressor outside, an air hose and fittings for the public to use for free?

Yeah, more or less every manned gas station in Sweden has that.

No, I meant non gas station providing air for free... Since we're on the topic of businesses giving free services only tangentially related to what they sell.

I guess one example is bikeshops providing air for bikes for free. But I agree, not many services provide things for free. I’m assuming gas stations see it as a way to draw in customers, many also have bathrooms for free.

Yes it’s common to have a timed payment machine for air. Usually dual purpose with a vacuum machine as well.

Interesting, here in Sweden air is always free, however vaccums cost money (but way less stations have vaccums).
